TROUBLE NOT PROBABLE. The Spanish Statesman Think* the I’res* Itlcnl's Message I* Merely Calenlatril to Arrest, the Impatience of the Jlngnlsla In This Country and That Nothing Will lie Hone. MAmiirt, Pec. It. -Scnor Kmillo Cas te liar, the noted Spanish republican lender, gives the following statement of Ids opinion of that, part of President Cleveland's message which refers to the Cuban question: “I do not con sider the President's message unfavor able to Spain, because the attitude of Mr. i leveland reminds me of that, of (ieneral (hunt in 1873, only that Mr, Cleveland reads harder lectures t > tin insurgents and the jingo elements in. the I nited States. Ills silence on Cu ban Independence and ids opposition to l-eeognition of belligerency show* really honest, correct, statesmanlike conduct. So does ids othciul disposition toward Spain. I persist in believing that the more reasonable, the far sighted element of the American peo ple. the old Puritan stock, will give ns fair play. 1 approve the temporising attitude of Mr. ( leveland in the first part of his message. I consider bis re ply to the party resolution of the American congress last, winter us a damper for the insurgents. In the lat ter part of the message undoubtedly inert* lire unpii law me iicciarai ions, against which all patriotic Spaniards protest for instance, what tie says about tlie sule of Cuba, the fnaccurute statements eoni'erriing tin situation in the colony und the cond t of ourf forces and generals. But we must dis tinguish in tlie latter part <•i tlie mes sage between the purely hypothetical surmises as to what America would deem herself justified In doing if Spain were impotent to crush tlie insurrection promptly, and the friendly advice ami suggestions vol-’, un tee red by Mr. Cleveland when he recommends and even offers to co operate in obliging tlie Cubans to accept autonomy or home rule, which We ourselves offered them a large in stallment of in the law whieh the Cortes passed last year. We must he practical and understand that this part of the message is calculated merely to arrest tlie impatience of the public in tin- I'nileil States und to check once for all any European power attempting to interfere with the pol ities of the new world. Mr. Cleveland thus gains time and allows us to expect that he will remain friendly to the end ’ of his term of office." LIBERTY, MO., VIGILANTES.

SMITH IMPUCNED. F*-Clerk KHiIIiik Nskm Hennat lormF Htatfint'nlii About the Horn** MannKfr. Wahiiixotox, Dec. 14.—William F. Redding, an Inmate of the Hampton, Va., Soldiers' home, who was the clerk of Governor Smith of the leaven worth home from IHs!* to ihi*5, appeared to day before the House committee In vestigating the Leavenworth home and testified that he drew the contract with the Leslie Keeley institute, by which cures of the morphine and alco hol habits were to tie administered to the inmates. Ity the terms of the con tract, #10 was to lie charged for the cure of the morphine habit and #s for the alcohol habit. Redding swore that on one occasion Governor Smith told him, when It was suggested that the tcni|s*rnnce socie ties should give him a medal for his activity in pushing the Keeley cure, thut he did not want a medal, what lie wanted was “the #1,000," This was when negotiations with the institute were pending, lie also testified that Governor Smith raised the sum charged to Inmates for the administration of till' cure toS.’O. although the contract price was ##, He said that Governor Smith took the cure himself, and that subsequently he (Redding) saw Smith under the Influence of liquor. He tes tllled that Governor Smith frequently went to Kxeelslor Springs and re mained for several days. Redding testified fo various minor incidents tending to show Governor Smith's arbitrary and oppressive treat ment of the inmates. He attributed Ids removal from a position he held at the North western home to Governor Smith's influence, lie was the only witness to-day, DEATH FOR TRAIN ROBBERS (iovrriior Kloni* Ngmik* In Mouf I’otltlvH Turin* of tli« CrlfiM*. .Ikkpkiwio.m t'rry. Mo., Dec. II, Gov ernor Stone this afternoon offered it reward of 8100 each for the arrest and conviction of the persons connected with the attempted train robbery on the Iron Mountain road in St. /.ouis Wednesday night, and 8.’00 for each of tin robbers who might lie sentenced to death. The governor said of train robbery: “In 1 SOS a law was enacted by the legislature of this state making train robbing a capital offense. I heartily i ndorsed the enactment of this law. Train robbing Is a crime which greatly endangers human life, as it is accom panied by circumstances of risk and danger and is perpetrated by armed I and desperate men. It is usually accompanied by actual violence done those in charge of trains and express ears. Hut in addition j to the foregoing it is a crime which brings a slab; inb> public disre pute greater than that of any other crime in the calendar of which I have knowledge. Its frequent occurrence will do incalculable harm to the state. It is a crime that should be broken up, and 1 confess disappointment and im patience that juries do not deal with criminals of this class with the utmost severity. The execution of a few of these, highwaymen—a punishment always richly deserved.would, in my judgment, put an end to this descrip tion of crime in this state. AMERICAN VOLUNTEERS.

Johnston was In augurated governor of Alabama Dec. 1. Refore taking the oath of office he de livered a long address, sounding the keynote of h!s administration, which Is to promote the development of Ala bama's resources and Improve the con dition of her people. Speaking of the resources of the state he said: "With an area of but little more than fifty thousand square miles, there is no territory of like size In the known world so prolific In the variety of Its resources; were a wall erected around our state, cutting off all access, wo could produce within our borders everything necessary for the comfort or convenience of man. Great veins of Iron ore and seams of coal put at our command almost boundless re sources In fuel, Iron, and steel. Splen did forests of yellow pint! here stand ready to build homes for millions of people, building stone and marble, fire clay, kaolin and lime exist in great abundance; walnut, maple, oak, cherry, ash anil other hard woods await the hand of man for manufacture or the adornment of our homes. In the pro duction of pig Iron we lake rank ns the fourth state In the union; In Iron ore, third; In coal we stand fifth; In the production of cotton, fourth, and In Its manufacture, fourth. In lumber we are near the head of the list. It would he unjust should 1 fall to In clude In our minerals copper, lead, graphite, marl and gold; Indeed, the only mineral that we germ to be with out and to want most Is silver. Leav ing forest and mine and coming to our lb Ids we find that they produce gen erously cotton, corn, wheat, rye, oats, tobacco, rice and the grasses and here is the home of the pear, the peach, the grape and all small fruits. Vegetables are grown with great success, ana tins industry is ttteadily developing. Our splendid rivers, the Alabama, Coosa, Tallapoosa, Warrior, Cahaba, Blgbee and the Tennessee, ar<* the liquid ar teries of the commonwealth, fed by In numerable creeks, all fruitful In power to convert our raw products Into arti cles of merchandise. Over 3,000 miles of railroad* traver*e our state from north to south, and ea*t to west, fur nishing quick trunuportatlon to market for our products. When we come to our climate we find that the Giver of all good things has not stayed His hand, and that He has blessed us with opportunity to labor twelve months In the year without detriment to health or comfort. Indeed, we can scarcely ap preciate the blessings we enjoy in Ibis respect when compared with less fa vored regions, for even now we are seemingly unconscious that roses are blooming In our gardens, and the fra grant air Is sweet with their perfume. • * • With a profound gratitude to the God of our fathers, that our lots have been cast In this sunny land, let us beseech Him to send warmth and vitality and enduring growth into every field of endeavor, that will make us strong to accomplish the tilings that make a state loved at home and re vered abroad.” The Shoe and Heather Reporter pub lishes each week a list of shipment* of boot* and shoes.
